ABOUT AIDEEN
HELLO, I’m Aideen McCartney
I’m a certified Play Therapist and parenting coach working with children and families in Central and South London.
Raised in Australia and New Zealand, over the past 15 years I’ve worked as a play therapist, teacher, nanny and children's theatre performer in Australia, South Korea and the UK.
I've always been passionate about the importance of play and creativity as part of a healthy childhood and my love for working with children has given me a wealth of diverse experience.
My special interest is in helping parents to step into the world of their children and strengthening family relationships through creativity, curiosity and play.
I'm a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), DBS checked, hold professional liability insurance and attend regular clinical supervision.
